Penn Foster is a relatively easy-going online highschool program and it has helped me finish my academics after getting burnt out from public school. The curriculums are easy to follow, straight forward, and self-paced, which are exactly what I needed.

I love Penn Foster. The school has provided me with less anxiety ridden days. Being homeschooled has made my life ten time easier. I've gone through 2 online high schools and Penn Foster takes the cake.
